You know you look younger than your Age when...

Have you noticed how most people feel happy when people think they are younger than their age? I have to admit, it makes me feel good. People always find it hard to guess my age, not surprising as I am 21 years old, every year.

Anyway, here is a small test for you to know, when you actually look younger than your age. It’s not just people guessing your age. It’s also when…

.

✫ Example, you are in UK and when you buy a bottle of wine, the cashier asks if you are over 18 before accepting payment. Even better if she asks for ID....

✫ If you are a Doctor, wearing your white coat, with stethoscope around your neck and stand in front of your new patient - who gives you a good look and still asks “where is the Doctor?”

✫ You are a mother and have a grown up daughter, but people ask you if she is your sister. (See Celeb Photo below).

Mother and Daughter - Goldie Hawn & Kate Hudson

Aging...

“Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many.” ~ Author Unknown

“Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.” ~ Bob Hope

✫ People compliment you that your skin looks as smooth as a babies skin.

✫ You are rolling on the floor playing with a 4 or 5 year old kid and afterwards they innocently ask you:

@Divacratus - So true. Looking younger is nice but sometimes you don't get the respect you should have. I remember having to cover a teacher for a College Class of teens. I was smartly dressed in a suit and stood in front of the classroom....yet a few of the teens cheekily said "Where is the Teacher?" lol.... but we got through the Lesson. It would be lovely when you turn 50 though, You'd be looking 40. Thanks for sharing and voting.

I look younger than my age, or that's what people tell me. There are times when I wished that I could look my age, because well.. then that would make people younger than me to stop treating me like a kid! It gets annoying sometimes but yeah I can't help grinning when people say I look really young. Good hub. Just had to check it out when I saw the title. Voted up.

People are always shocked when they find out I'm 31. Even with a beard I keep getting mistaken for someone in their mid 20's. I view this as a compliment!

Hi Floating mind...

It's good to see you again. I smiled at the words "under the hill and over the hill". Anyway, as long as you feel good about yourself - that's what counts.

Thanks for visiting my other Hubs.

Best Wishes. :)

Hi Lady_E.

I'm not over the hill ... and thank god I'm not under the hill either. I've been told that I look good for my age. For me, that's good enough. Nice hub. And yes ... I'm still smiling from your last hub I read about, "Stress Relief 2: Loosen up with Laughter."

Lol @ Harvey

Well if they are hitting on you - it means you don't look a day over 21 years old.

Nope. You are not bragging. :)

Harvey Stelman 5 years agofrom Illinois

Lady, For me it's getting hit on by ladies in their 20's and 30'. Even 40's surprises me. Hell, I'm 62! This is a recent pic. Am I bragging, nah. H

@Royal Mark - Very True -Some Celebs will spend thousands of Dollars a month on their looks and will still not be able to bring that youth back. Aging gracefully is the best. Glad you stopped by.

@RippleMaker Ha ha... Thanks for stopping, young lady.

@dinkan53 Thanks so much for those wise words. Cheers.

”First you forget names, then you forget faces, then you forget to pull your zipper up, then you forget to pull your zipper down. I like that quote, simple but interesting hub.

Lolz. Although money makes one look younger than his/her age especially if you spend it on maintaining yourself, someone people have it naturally.

Pretty entertaining.

my favorite is when "You are rolling on the floor playing with a 4 or 5 year old kid and afterwards they innocently ask you: will you be my friend"

Is there anything better than that! Great Hub...made me smile!

@Robwrite - I think you are so young at heart. Thanks.

@DeBorrah - Lovely to see you again. So that means God sees nobody as "old" but just as his Children. That's so cool. Also, amazing how people in the old days (in Bible) lived up to 400, 500 years and then there was Uncle Methuselah..... Best Wishes.

@Ruby .... oh ROFL (Rolling on the floor laughing) I think they are mental too. Life begins at 70 in my books.

This is pretty interesting,how we love to be told we look younger than our age but you are right with this reality, time will come that great look will slowly vanish... but then we still need to take care of ourselves

This was enjoyable. I have always said if you want to look younger hang out with people who are older. :)
